When it comes to a more youthful appearance, there are a number of aesthetic treatment options that can help to achieve this, with many of them focusing on increasing the production of collagen. But what is collagen? And what is the role of collagen for younger looking skin?
So what is collagen?
Collagen is a protein that is found within the skin, where this helps to maintain firmness and hydration. This protein provides strength and support to the skin, helping to scaffold and support the facial structure.
As a natural part of the ageing process, collagen production declines, leading to the formation of wrinkles and sagging.
So what is the role of collagen for younger looking skin?
Collagen plays an essential role in maintaining a youthful appearance, in a number of different ways. These include:
Firmness and elasticity- Collagen fibres form an important network within the skin, providing structure to the skin cells and holding these together. This allows the skin to stretch and return to its original shape, maintaining a smooth and even skin tone and a youthful appearance.
Hydration- Another of the important roles that collagen plays in maintaining a youthful appearance is that this helps the skin to retain moisture and hydration. When the skin is well hydrated, this looks more full and plump, helping to display a youthful appearance.
What are the aesthetic treatment options that can increase collagen production?
Collagen production drops and declines as we age, and this can lead to skin that becomes more dehydrated, less plump, and even sagging skin. To combat this natural decline, there are a number of different treatments that can help to increase collagen production, including microneedling, dermal fillers, and PhilArt Injectable Polynucleotides.
Microneedling for collagen production
This treatment is also known as collagen induction therapy due to its renowned ability to trigger the body to produce more collagen. This is a treatment that involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries on the surface of the skin, which will trigger the natural healing process of the body. This healing process leads to the production of both collagen and elastin. But what are the benefits of this? Well there are several, including:
Smoother, firmer skin- the micro injuries caused by microneedling encourage the skin to create more collagen and elastin to repair the wound, which leads to firmer, smoother skin.
Improved texture- Microneedling can reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and large pores.
Dermal fillers for collagen production
Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid which binds to moisture and keeps skin plump and hydrated. This can increase the volume of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helping to reshape and restructure the skin for a fuller look. This also stimulates collagen production. The benefits of this include:
Instant results- Fillers provide immediate improvement in skin volume and smoothness.
Collagen boost- Dermal fillers promote collagen production over time, improving skin texture and elasticity.
Versatility- Dermal fillers can address various concerns, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows.
PhilArt Injectable Polynucleotides for collagen production
PhilArt Injectable Polynucleotides are an innovative treatment that are becoming more popular. These are DNA fragments that can be used to repair and rejuvenate skin cells by increasing skin cell turnover and increasing the production of collagen. The benefits of this include:
Skin cell repair- PhilArt Injectable Polynucleotides are essential for the repair and regeneration of damaged skin cells, promoting healthier and younger looking skin.
Hydration and elasticity- This treatment can improve skin hydration and elasticity, leading to a reduction in the appearance and development of fine lines and wrinkles, healthier, hydrated skin and a more youthful appearance.
Long lasting results- The regenerative effects of PhilArt Injectable Polynucleotides provide long lasting improvements in skin texture and appearance.
